Pokémon: A Roundup of Ash's Eight Masters' Peak Battles!

See this.

Ash and his friends continued forward into the cave without hesitation.

just.

As the group ventured deeper into the cave...

A new enemy has emerged.

However, this time the enemy was rather strange.

They are not the three legendary Pokémon, but they don't seem like ordinary Pokémon either.

Its appearance is somewhat similar to the Cradle Lily encountered under the World Tree.

But the other party is clearly not an ordinary Cradle Lily.

The Cradle Lily, composed entirely of liquid crystals emitting a faint orange glow, lunged forward menacingly.

Musashi was caught off guard and was swallowed whole by the other party.

Watching Musashi struggle incessantly.

Without hesitation, Kojiro took out a Poké Ball and summoned Nargacuga.

"Desert Naya, use the Pin Missile!"

Kojiro immediately commanded Desert Nyarlathotep to attack the orange Cradle Lily.

However, Desert Nyarlathotep's attacks were completely ineffective against the opponent.

The missile even pierced through the opponent's body and bombarded the ground behind them.

It was in this despair and helplessness.

Musashi's entire body was completely engulfed by the Cradle Lily, a ball of orange, unidentified matter.

It then completely disappeared from the ground.

Before Kojiro could react...

Another orange blur sped out of the cave ahead.

Its target is Kojiro!

In just a moment, Kojiro's body was completely enveloped by this orange substance.

Ash and the others, who rushed over, could only stare at the somewhat horrifying scene, unsure of what to do.

"Desert Naya, run! Wind Chime, you too! Don't worry about me!"

And just then.

The source of this power is unknown.

Kojiro pulled a hand out from his body, which was covered in orange substance.

He was also holding a Poké Ball in his hand.

Just as the orange substance was about to climb onto Kojiro's arm again.

The Poké Ball finally opened.

The wind chimes flew out.

Looking at the wind chimes, Kojiro showed a relieved smile at the last moment before being swallowed by the orange substance.

You must live well.

"bell!"

[Longdu: Something's not right! This is really strange! This is completely different from the Rockets I know! Shouldn't they only care about themselves at a time like this? Why are they acting like this?!]

[Codename "Handsome": I suddenly understand the difference between evil organizations and poachers. Becoming a member of an evil organization doesn't prove they are evil; they also have bonds with their Pokémon.]

[Dalmatian: You really can't generalize about people. James is truly devoted to his Pokémon. Even when his own life is threatened, his first thought is always for his Pokémon.]

[Musashi: Waaaaa~ Kojiro, you're amazing!]

[Kojiro: Waaaaah~ Musashi, you too!]

[Mastad: What a touching scene! It truly reveals genuine emotion.]

[Makoto: You two! Don't embarrass Team Rocket here!]

[Musashi: Waaah, I'm so sorry, officers, we really couldn't control ourselves. I'm so sorry, if you're going to punish someone this time, just punish me!]

[Makoto: Fine, the boss said Kojiro did a good job this time, so all your previous punishments are cancelled, and your activity budget is increased by 20%!]

[Musashi and Kojiro: !!!]

[Musashi and Kojiro: This feels amazing!]

Professor Oak: But how are Ash and his friends going to deal with these orange things? They're clearly not Pokémon.

[Dr. Mulan: If I'm not mistaken, this should be the World Tree's immune system, and Musashi and Kojiro are probably being treated as germs.]

Professor Oak: Come to think of it, it seems that the Yggdrasil's immune system was activated because of the machine released by that adventurer.

[Dragon Ferry: I told you long ago, these adventurers are no good!]

……

In the picture—

Before Ash and his friends could even feel sorry for James and his friends' fate.

The voices of Regirock and Registeel came from behind.

The opponent immediately launched an attack upon seeing Ash and his friends.

The attack was imminent.

Ash and his friends' escape journey begins again.

Continue along the cave, while also evading the pursuit of the two Triads.

at the same time.

An unidentified orange substance also kept gushing out.

Their target is also Ash and his friends.

During the escape, Chido immediately scanned the orange object and reported it to her companion Banks.

According to Banks' analysis...

This is indeed the immune system, just like white blood cells.

Ash and his friends were identified as bacteria by Yggdrasil.

"So, does that mean this tree is alive?" Qiduo murmured.

He then continued to flee without hesitation.

Now that we know this thing is a white blood cell.

So, it goes without saying what they will face once they come into contact with the orange substance.

During his escape, Lucario unexpectedly discovers that his Aura Missiles can actually attack the white blood cells of these World Trees.

And there was an amazing discovery.

These white blood cells do not affect Pokémon.

In other words, only humans like Ash and his friends are considered invaders, or bacteria!

They kept running along the cave entrance.

The group quickly ran out of the cave and arrived at a three-way intersection.

"We'll distract them, you guys go first. Miss Kitty, I'm counting on you for everyone. If you see Pikachu, please remember to tell it, and I'll go find it."

Xiao Zhi said with a burning gaze.

Meeting Ash's gaze, everyone had no choice but to agree to the suggestion.

Ash and his friends were unaware that these dangers were actually brought about by Chidori.

519124243 Linglong

Because of trust in Qiduo's adventures.

Ash entrusted everyone to Chidori's care.

"Got it, this way!"

After saying that, Qiduo immediately led the others toward a cave entrance.

Everyone else has already left.

But Lucario remained standing still and did not move.

Ash looked at Lucario.

"Lucario, you should go too."

Lucario just gave Ash a deep look.
